Hello, I've been lurking quite a while. I am usually shy, and it's hard for me to start talking with new people; but I have heard a story about La Llorona, different from your versions. It keeps bothering me. So I wonder if anybody of you knows it and can some details. It goes like this: It all happened in Mexico. A beautiful girl called La Llorona fell in love with a wealthy Spanish gentelman. He owned a factory on a river. The factory polluted water and killed the fish.La Llorona was from a poor family. She drank the water from the river - no filters at home. La Llorona began to live with her beloved but things didn't go too well. She got pregnant and gave birth to twins who were blind and deformed hands. She was in despaire and drowned her children so they don't suffer. When the children were dead she committed a suicide and every night her ghost is seen on the banks of the river looking for her children.
